Boston – Alleged bra bribe stuffer Dianne Wilkerson has been arrested. The arrest of Dianne Wilkerson came Monday after 18 months of investigation. Dianne Wilkerson’s arrest is for allegedly  stashing a cash bribe into her bra and receiving payment to approve a night club liquor license, among other allegations.

“Dianne Wilkerson accepted these cash payments in exchange for her official duties and responsibilities,” said U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan in a press conference.

MA State Senator Wilkerson is be to charged today. The charges will include extortion under color of official right and theft of honest services.

The complaint says she took allegedly eight bribes, totaling $23,500. One video reportedly shows her talking a $1,000 bribe and putting in her bra.

The complaint reportedly says:

“In exchange for payment, Wilkerson pressured the Boston Licensing Board, the mayor and the city council and held up pending legislation in the state Senate, including legislation increasing the salaries of members of the Boston Licensing Board.

“Wilkerson ultimately introduced legislation to increase the number of liquor licenses available in Boston, and then reportedly manipulated the timing of that legislation at the request of undercover agents.

“Between June 2007 and March 2008, Wilkerson allegedly took $8,500 in cash payments from an undercover agent and cooperating witness to assist in obtaining a liquor license for the Dejavu night club in Roxbury.

“Wilkerson allegedly proposed that an undercover agent, posing as an out-of-state businessman, become involved in the development of a piece of state property in Roxbury.

“Wilkerson reportedly proposed to introduce legislation which directly designated a property to a private entity for development in order to avoid the ordinary bidding process.”

She faces 20 years in prison. No comment by Wilkerson.
